Our pool looks pretty strong. On their day England and Wales are both good teams. I'm not sure about Oceania who does that comprise of ? All the pools have reasonable mix of teams to make it interesting. I'm not sure I'd like to swap with NZ but South Africa may do it a bit easier in their pool. It should be a good World Cup. But to be honest my money is on our Kiwi bros. they're just freaks on the Rugby field. They take punching above your weight to another level when it comes to sport. I know Australia like to think we punch above our weight, and we do to a certain extent but those Kiwi cousins are something else. One of my all time favourite World Cup games Australia v Ireland in 1991 quarter final, we won by a point and went on to win the World Cup. Those were the days, Campo, lynagh, Eales, Nick Farr Jones what a team.

Yes I was surprised to see the Springboks go down. Japan have a pretty good domestic comp plus I think there are a few Kiwi imports in their team too. But good on Japan.
Australia has a pretty hard draw, four out of the five teams in our group are top ten teams so NZ And South A seem a bit advantaged, just don't tell Japan that.

Poms beaten by Wales... that was a surprise.

Umm, not sure where I got it from.

Looks like you got it from a site before they updated the last qualifiers in each group, so they gave the groups (instead of countries) were they hadn't been decided (at time of publishing).

Watched the game last night.

Pub full of POMs. Great to watch their demise at the hands of their colonial foe. We pushed the POMs out.

We are in with a good chance to win the world cup.
